At the risk of upsetting the fan club... Are we loading remind with so many features that only a person with compiler creation experience can use it?
I am not a computer scientist by any standard but have been hacking around for 40 years. I already find remind to be somewhat obtuse. Maybe I need the "Remind for Dummies" book. Is anyone working on that? Just a thought or two. Peace, Bob -- Bob Paver Assoc.
